lsslot, lscfg...

[ogniemi]

a 55A system has configured 2 FC adapters - one on mail box and one on D20. Everything is fine wiht SAN storage, LUNs ate multipathed using sdd - each adapter is used for one path to each LUN (no problems with LUNS, paths, no errors in errorlog)

I don't understand why I don't see fcs0 on lsslot output and I see it on lscfg output. Any idea?


# lscfg|grep fcs
+ fcs1 U7311.D20.653CD1D-P1-C07-T1 FC Adapter
+ fcs0 U787B.001.DNWBBCA-P1-C3-T1 FC Adapter

# lsslot -c slot
# Slot Description Device(s)
U7311.D20.653CD1D-P1-C04 Logical I/O Slot pci7 sisscsia0
U7311.D20.653CD1D-P1-C06 Logical I/O Slot pci5 ent2 ent3

Is the adapter perhaps 'Defined' instead of 'Available'
How does `lsdev -Cc adapter` look?



"If you always do what you've always done, you will always be where you've always been."

 

[ogniemi]

no, both are available.

# lsdev -Cc adapter|grep ^fc
fcs0 Available 00-08 FC Adapter
fcs1 Available 06-08 FC Adapter


other ideas?

Yeah, that's odd. You can see the one on the I/O drawer, but not the other one. Does mail box mean CEC-1? I'm unfamiliar with that term. Is it possible it's a child of a different device?

lsslot -c slot |grep fcs ????

lsdev -p sisscsia0 ??

 

[khalidaaa]

yeah what do you mean by "one on mail box and one on D20"
what is mail box?

 

[ogniemi]

it was mistyping - should be "main box" (the 55A is built from 2 building blocks: main module + D20)

 

[ogniemi]

fcs0 is mounted in CEC-1 (main module), lscfg shows it but lsslot doesn't
fcs1 is mounted in D20, I see it on both lscfg and lsslot output.

[p5wizard]

Was the slot with fcs0/fscsi0 removed/added after boot? Not that it should make a difference, I'm just guessing...

What does "lsslot -c pci" give as output?


HTH,

p5wizard

 

[ogniemi]

p5wizard,

both FC adapters were configured in LPAR profile before it had been activated

and 'lsslot -c pci' shows the fcs0! how to explain it is not on 'lsslot -c slot' output?

oh yeah when i first added my first fc adapter to a p5 570 machine i used the lsslot -c pci and it was there!

now you are making me curious to run lsslot -c slot on that machine! but i don't have access to the machines as i'm in a vacation for now!

You got my attention!
